The basic idea of MEC is to utilize the powerful computing facilities within the radio access network, such as the MEC server integrated into the base station (BS).
Users can benefit from offloading the computationally intensive tasks to the MEC server.
There are two operation modes for MEC, i.e., partial and binary computation offloading.
In partial computation offloading, the computation tasks can be divided into two parts, where one part is locally executed and the other part is offloaded to the MEC server [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}.
In binary computation offloading, the computation tasks are either locally executed or offloaded to the MEC server [8]}.
